The repair parts for my longeron mistake after they have been primed. The elevator bellcrank is also shown.
A close up of the top splice piece. Note the machined step to go over the firewall/longeron gusset.
I assembled and fit the bellcrank. I also fit the elevator autopilot servo. I'm still playing with the linkage, to get the best angles. I guess I could go find the instructions but that would not be any fun.
A shot from the right side.
The splice repairs are finished along the top of the longerons. The sides will be finished when the top goes on. Note the extra rivets.
This is the side piece. No it does not go on the outside, I just set it here to show the length. I t goes on the inside of the spliced longeron. If you look closely you can see the cut mark on the longeron between the fourth and fifth holes. Just to the right of the left most cleco on the side piece is where the step is to go over the gusset . Also note the extra height of the splice to the right on the longeron. I'm glad this problem is now fixed!!
